title: 3-(2-Bromo-phenyl-sulfin-yl)-2,5,7-trimethyl-1-benzo-furan.
abstract: In the title compound, C17H15BrO2S, both the benzo-furan and 2-bromo-phenyl rings are virtually planar, with r.m.s. deviations of 0.009 (2) and 0.006 (2) Å, respectively. The dihedral angle between these mean planes is 89.31 (7)°. In the crystal, mol-ecules are linked via pairs of C-H⋯π inter-actions into inversion dimers. These dimers are further linked by C-H⋯π inter-actions into supra-molecular chains running along the b axis. In addition, C-S⋯π inter-actions, with an S-to-ring-centroid distance of 3.50 (2) Å, are observed between inversion-related dimers.
